I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That's the main downside I've experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.

But it also takes longer to get mad, I'm less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it's closer to the surface now.
